Long Table/Figure Captions

Post by mfiligree »

Greetings ~ my question is with table or figure captions that are so long, they extend onto a second line in the list of tables/list of figures. My preference is to have the second line of a caption, when length makes it necessary, indented a few spaces for ease of readability. I have attached a mwe.

Thanks for your help,
Linda

Hi,

have a look at the caption package, it provides features for that purpose and is very well documented.
